Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the global existence of strong solutions for the inhomogeneous incompressible viscoelastic system with only velocity dissipation on R2\mathbb{R}^{2}. Due to the criticality of the time-weight, the methods for the corresponding problem on R3\mathbb{R}^{3} cannot be directly applied to the two-dimensional case. To overcome the main difficulties, we first transform the original system into a suitable dissipative system by introducing an effective tensor. Then we develop a new fractional time-weighted energy framework, combined with elegant commutator and bilinear estimates, to prove the global existence of strong solutions without the help of the common ``div-curl" structure on the viscoelastic system.
